[Proposal] Sense & Store – Intelligent App Suggestions from Safari (with On-Device AI)

Hello everyone,

I’d like to propose Sense & Store — a seamless integration between Safari and the App Store, powered by on-device AI, designed to understand what users are reading, searching, or selecting in Safari, and suggest relevant apps that match their current context or intention.

🔍 Key Idea:

“Sense” the user’s need through intelligent analysis of web content, then “Store” — offer the most relevant app, either already installed or available in the App Store.

🌟 Core Features: • AI-powered context detection directly inside Safari • Real-time app suggestions based on user intent • Smart overlays when selecting text or data (e.g., phone numbers, emails, tools) • Privacy-first: All AI runs on-device (Apple Neural Engine) • Instant App Launch or Installation via StoreKit

✅ Examples: • Reading an article on productivity? → Suggests Notion or Things. • Looking up meditation tips? → Recommends Calm or Headspace. • Selecting a phone number? → Offers CRM or spam blocker apps. • Exploring code samples? → Suggests Pythonista or developer tools.

🔒 Privacy & Performance: • 100% on-device intelligence (no data sent to servers) • Follows Apple’s privacy framework • Works with SafariKit + StoreKit + CoreML

I’m happy to provide a full prototype roadmap and technical architecture. Feedback and collaboration are welcome!

Would love to hear your thoughts — especially from developers who build for Safari, App Clips, or work with CoreML.

Thanks! Jose Luiz Horta Barbosa Maurity Cruz - Apple lover...

You're in the wrong place.

These are the Developer Forums, where developers of third-party apps for Apple's platforms ask each other for hints and tips on coding.

These forums are not where Apple's actual developers chat about new features.
